Pittsburgh · family run · taking first clients

The admin work your
team shouldn't
be doing.

Orion builds and runs the back-office automation that professional firms need and don't have an engineering team to build. Client intake, document parsing, dispatch — handled quietly in the background, with a person signing off on anything that leaves your business.

Watch your data move

Here is exactly what happens, step by step.

No black box. Pick the kind of work you do and watch a single piece of information travel through the system — including the point where it stops and waits for one of your people.

PropertyOps

A tenant reports a leak at 11pm
01Trigger

Request arrives

Portal, text, or email from the tenant.

023 sec

Triaged

A leak is urgent. A light bulb is routine. Sorted by what it actually is.

035 sec

Vendor matched

Right trade, covers that building, currently available.

04You decide

Manager approves

You see the job, the vendor, and the likely cost — and approve before anyone is dispatched or any money is committed.

05Done

Dispatched

Work order sent, tenant told what's happening and when.

BidDesk

A supplier emails a 14-page quote two days before the bid is due
01Trigger

Quote arrives

PDF attachment lands in the estimating inbox.

028 sec

Parsed

Line items, quantities, unit prices, lead times, and exclusions read straight off the page.

0310 sec

Compared

Lined up against your other quotes on the same package. Gaps flagged.

04You decide

Estimator reviews

Every extracted figure shown next to the source page. Nothing enters the bid until your estimator confirms it.

05Done

Into the bid

Written to your system, the sub notified, the milestone updated.

this is your data moving dark step = a person, not software
Everything we do

Three systems, configured to your firm.

Not thirty bespoke projects. Each is a product we've built before, tuned to how your operation actually runs.

NO. 01

LegalIntake

Boutique law firms

Enquiries captured and qualified around the clock, and documents read the moment they arrive — parties, dates, amounts, obligations, and response deadlines pulled out and put in front of a person to confirm.

  • 24/7 enquiry capture and qualification
  • Instant document parsing with deadline extraction
  • Conflict pre-check
  • Calendar booking without the back-and-forth
  • Document request chasing
NO. 02

PropertyOps

Commercial real estate & property management

Vacancy enquiries nurtured without anyone chasing them, tenant requests triaged and routed, and vendors dispatched before a small problem becomes an expensive one.

  • Vacancy lead nurture
  • Tenant request triage and routing
  • Automated vendor dispatch
  • Maintenance escalation rules
  • Lease date and renewal reminders
NO. 03

BidDesk

Commercial contractors

Supplier quotes read straight out of the PDF instead of being re-keyed, sub-bids coordinated in one place, and milestone updates that go out on their own.

  • Material quote ingestion
  • Subcontractor bid coordination
  • Project milestone notifications
  • RFP intake and routing
  • Quote comparison across a package
Included whichever you choose

The parts nobody advertises.

Monitoring

We watch it. If something breaks, you hear it from us first.

Monthly tuning

Your operation changes. The automation gets adjusted to match.

Your tools stay

Clio, Procore, AppFolio, Outlook — we're the wiring between them, not a replacement.

Full audit trail

Who confirmed what, and when. Exportable.

Getting started

Signed to running in three weeks.

Fixed scope, fixed price, and you see working software in week two rather than a status report.

WEEK 00

Walkthrough

Fifteen minutes. We map where your time actually goes and tell you honestly whether there's enough there to be worth automating.

WEEK 01

Discovery & spec

We sit with the people doing the work, write down exactly what gets built, and price it. Nothing starts until you've agreed the scope.

WEEK 02

Build & connect

We build it and plug it into what you already use. Your existing tools stay put.

WEEK 03

Live & monitored

Running in production, your team trained, and us watching it. Monthly tuning from there.

Who you'd actually be working with

A family business, in Pittsburgh.

There is no account manager, no offshore team, and no ticket queue. There are two of us, and you will know both by name.

Adriel Hernandez, founder of Orion

Adriel Hernandez

Founder · builds it

Adriel does the discovery, writes the software, and runs every technical consultation himself. If you hire Orion, he is the person in your office mapping your intake process — and the person you call when you want something changed.

Mrs. Hernandez, engineering review at Orion

Mrs. Hernandez

Engineering · builds it too

Adriel's mother, and a career database developer — eighteen years as a senior developer at Central Romana in the Dominican Republic, one of the largest companies in Latin America. She writes code on this alongside him and reviews everything before it reaches a client: schema design, data handling, and whether the thing actually does what we said it would. She is not shy about sending something back.

Two people means we can't take twenty clients this year. It also means nothing ships that neither of us has looked at.

— why we work this way
The rule we don't bend

It proposes.
A person decides.

Our software reads documents, drafts replies, and surfaces deadlines. It does not file, send, or calendar anything on its own. Every extracted deadline goes into a review queue and needs an affirmative human confirmation before it becomes real, with escalation if nobody confirms.

Why we're strict about it: in a law firm a missed deadline is malpractice. Software that quietly swallows one is not a time-saver, it's a liability. So we built the confirmation step in at the architecture level, where it can't be switched off — and every confirmation is logged with who and when.

Tell us where the time goes.

Two minutes to fill in. We'll come back within one business day with a straight answer about whether this is worth your time.

  • No pitch deck. A specific read on your operation, or an honest "we're not the right fit."
  • No obligation. The walkthrough is free and there's no follow-up sequence if you say no.
  • You'll talk to Adriel. Not a salesperson — the person who'd build it.

Prefer to talk first? Book 15 minutes directly →

We use this to prepare for the conversation and nothing else. No list, no sequence, no sharing.

Got it.

Adriel will come back to you within one business day. If it's urgent, grab a slot directly.
